Daggers & Steele #9

Liquid Steele

Rate this book
There's no smell quite like a decomposing corpse. When Detectives Daggers and Steele find a body washed ashore after two weeks at sea, they're only too happy to put it behind them, following the trail to a quaint, seaside village--but the town's idyllic exterior can't hide a rotten core. The victim was in a venomous marriage, the local police might be corrupt, and a pervasive legend lingers on the lips of every local. Daggers soon has his hands full, but it's a more personal issue keeping him up at night--a dark fault lingering within. With his relationship with Steele floating adrift, Daggers must figure out how to steer both the case and his troubles to safe harbor. The future is murky, like a frothy gray sea of LIQUID STEELE. *** This is book nine of the Daggers & Steele mystery series. Book ten, MAN OF STEELE, is now available.

An entirely new setting for Daggers and Steele this time around, out in a small country/fishing village. Seeing them interact with a different police force was interesting, and interesting to see Dagger's private issues rising, which causes conflicts with him and Steele. Good murder mystery and as usual, a great tale!

Another good one

Great series, each book is well written an a little better than the last. The characters are all likable, except the bad guys of course, but Daggers is a good dude (he is the main character). I have enjoyed the series so far an am a bit disappointed it will end at 10, but always better to end on top, then Peter out. It is a bit more squishy as the main character develops a love interest, but a fun light read nevertheless.

A little less satisfying

I like the police work in a roughly fantasy world. And the characters and plot were great.

The problem here was that the case wrapped a bit too quick and clean for me. It felt like the case wasn't quite as strong as normal.

Still gonna buy the next book as soon as it appears.

I will be so sad to see the end of this series

I could always rely on a damn good mystery yarn with some elements of fantasy thrown in. But essentially this is a series about relationships. And that is what I will miss the most.

Steele's character getting soft?

The change in Steele's character is what stuck me the most about this book. After I became aware that the series has only one more book, Man of Steele, that made more sense. Daggers and Steele's relationship is more of a focus in this book and seems to be getting to a conclusion as well. This was the meet the parents book and done in the humorous way that Steele handles all big moments, badly. So sorry to know the series is coming to an end. I have looked forward to each new instalment and new case.

I have enjoyed this excellent series of books so far. Jake and Shay will be learning more about relationships and Quinto will discover something missing from his life. Yes, there is an excellent well written mystery but there is a lesson to be learned as well.

Enjoyable series. This book was quite well written with good descriptions, humor and good character interactions. Each book has been better than the last and this one was certainly no exception.
